 Core Results for 3Q10 of $1.745 B vs. $1.464 B in 3Q09
  Improvement in 2010 driven mostly by higher commodity prices with additional contributions
 from higher volumes. Partially offsetting these gains were higher DD&A rates and higher
 operating expenses, partly resulting from fully expensing CO2 costs in 2010.

  Year-over-year increases of over 6.5%.
 Most of the year-over-year production increases came from the
 Middle East / North Africa region, with smaller increases in Argentina
 and the US.
 Sales volume differs from the production volumes above due mainly
 to the timing of a lifting in Argentina.
 Exploration expense was $83 million in 3Q10.

Segment - Cash Production Costs and Taxes
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Oil & Gas
Segment - Cash Production Costs and Taxes
 Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production
 and property taxes, were $10.25 per boe for YTD 2010.
 
  Full-year 2009 costs were $9.37 a boe.
  The nine-month increase reflects $0.35 a barrel higher CO2 costs,
 due to our decision to expense 100% of injected CO2 beginning
 in 2010, and higher field support operations, workovers and
 maintenance costs.
  The higher domestic workover activity is mostly in the Permian.
 Taxes - other than on income were $1.76 per boe for the
 first nine months of 2010 compared to $1.60 per boe for
 all of 2009. These costs, which are sensitive to product
 prices, reflect the effect of higher crude oil and gas prices
 in 2010.

*Lower feedstock costs
 Core Results for 3Q10 of $189 mm vs. $108 mm in 2Q10
  Results reflect improvement from 2Q10 in both volumes and margins across most product
 lines. Export markets have improved more rapidly than domestic markets due in part to the
 favorable feedstock costs in North America versus Europe and Asia.

($ in millions)
 Core Results for 3Q10 of $163 mm vs. $77 mm in 3Q09
  The increase in earnings was mainly due to trading and marketing income and higher
 margins in the pipeline businesses.

  Year to-date capital expenditures by segment were 82% in Oil and Gas, 13% in
 Midstream with the remainder in Chemicals.
  Our total year capital is expected to be about $4.4 billion.
  The capital spending rate will increase in 4Q10 largely in our domestic operations
 and in Iraq.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Acquisitions
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Acquisitions
 Our acquisition costs in 3Q10 were $1.1 billion and we expect to
 spend about $300 million in the first part of 4Q10.
  Through these acquisitions we expect to add about 10 mboe/d average
 production in 4Q10.
  These acquisitions have a run rate of about 12 mboe/d.
  Of this production about a third will be liquids and the balance will be gas.
  Over the medium-term, we expect these acquisitions to add at least 25
 mboe/d of production.
  This increase will come largely from oil production.
 In addition to these acquisitions, we expect to add an additional
 380,000 acres to our California acreage position and interests in
 100,000 acres in other producing areas.
  Our California acreage will now reach approximately 1.6 million acres, an
 overwhelming portion of which consists of mineral interests.
 We don't contemplate any more sizeable acquisitions of acreage
 in California.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Rig Activity
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Rig Activity
 Drilling rigs
  At the beginning of 2010 we were running 11 development rigs in
 California and 5 rigs in the Permian.
  We are currently running 16 drilling rigs in California and 9 in the
 Permian and expect our year-end exit rate rig count to reach 19 rigs in
 California and 14 in the Permian.
  Next year, we anticipate working 21 rigs in California and 15 rigs in the
 Permian.
  In the current environment, we are cautious about natural gas drilling
 and may reevaluate our 2011 US natural gas drilling program.

 Workover rigs
  In the Permian, we are currently running 94 workover rigs, compared
 with the 57 rigs we had at the beginning of the year.
  We currently expect to be operating 110 rigs at the end of 2010.
  A portion of workover expenditures are expensed as opposed to being
 capitalized depending on their nature.
  Our operating costs have recently increased due to higher workover
 activity to $10.94 per boe in 3Q10 and further increases are expected in
 4Q10.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings -
Oil and Gas Production - 4Q10 Outlook
 We expect oil and gas production and sales volumes to be
 in the range of 760 to 770 mboe/d at 3Q10 average oil
 prices.
  Volume increases in 4Q10 are expected to come from California,
 Oman's Mukhaizna field and the acquisitions.
  An increase in oil prices of $5.00 per barrel from 3Q10 levels would
 result in about 4 mb/d lower production due to the impact of higher
 prices affecting our production sharing and similar contracts.
 Based on the development plan at the Zubair field in Iraq,
 we believe we should have a small amount of production
 in 4Q10.
  We do not expect to report any sales from Iraq until 1Q11.
  The field development plan is on track for us to meet next year's
 production targets.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - 4Q10 Outlook
 Commodity Price Sensitivity - Earnings
  At current market prices, a $1.00 per barrel change in oil prices impacts oil
 and gas quarterly earnings before income taxes by about $39 mm;
  A swing of $0.50 per mm BTU in domestic gas prices has a $27 mm impact
 on quarterly pretax income; the current NYMEX gas price is around $3.90
 p/mcf.
 We expect 4Q10 exploration expense to be about $110 mm
 for seismic and drilling for our exploration programs.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - 4Q10 Outlook
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - 4Q10 Outlook
 The Chemical segment is expected to provide earnings
 for 4Q10 of $100 to $120 million.
  The fourth quarter is usually the weakest quarter for the
 business.
  We expect that continued margin improvements will be offset by
 the typical seasonal slowdown in the housing, construction,
 bleach and fertilizer markets.
 We expect our combined worldwide tax rate in 4Q10 to
 be about 41 percent.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Century Plant
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - Century Plant
 The Century Plant has just started operations and will be
 providing additional CO2 to support growth in our
 Permian operations.
  We expect that the plant will yield about 180 mmcf/d of CO2 next
 year to support our Permian EOR operations.
  We are in the process of contracting additional CO2 from other
 sources and will use penalty payments due from the operator for
 under production to support these activities.
  We expect to have sufficient CO2 to meet the needs of our
 previously disclosed expansion of flooding activities.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - California Update
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - California Update
 Exploration Activity:
  During the first nine months of 2010, we drilled 7 conventional
 exploration and extension wells in California.
  Of these, 5 were outside of the Kern County Discovery area.
  Two of these wells are currently being tested.
  We also drilled 12 unconventional exploration wells in the first nine
 months of 2010, of which 3 were successful and 5 are being tested.
  In 4Q10, we expect to drill 10 exploration wells of which 2 will be
 conventional and the remaining 8 wells will be non-conventional.
  Our 4Q10 exploration program will target smaller prospects until permits
 are obtained for larger ones.
 Exploitation Activity:
  We have drilled 13 conventional exploitation wells in the Kern County
 Discovery area and 15 unconventional exploitation wells in California in
 the first nine months.
  Due to delays in permitting, we've reduced our exploitation plans for the
 second half of the year by about 10 wells.

Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - California Update
Third Quarter 2010 Earnings - California Update
 We are continuing to have problems with our gas processing
 and gathering infrastructure at Elk Hills.
 As a result, we expect our gas and related NGL production to
 be about flat in 4Q10.
 
 We have ordered and commenced construction of the first
 new processing plant and will order the second plant shortly.
 
 Once complete, the new processing plants will increase
 productive capacity, improve yields, enhance netbacks and
 lower operating costs.
 We are also actively working to optimize and debottleneck our
 existing facilities to improve performance.
 In addition, we are shifting our drilling to oil wells, which we
 expect will result in higher oil production in 4Q10.
